A Listen to the responses to the survey. How do these people keep in touch?

How do you keep in touch with people?

Alma Jones.

“I usually use e-mail. It’s quicker and easier than anything else. But I get a lot of spam. There’s nothing worse than spam when you’re really busy.”

Tim Henry.

“I like to write letters. I know regular mail is slower than e-mail, but letters are more personal. And I never send those e-cards. I just think it’s nicer to get a real card.”

Mayumi Sato.

“I send text messages to my friends all day. It’s more fun than calling. And you can send photos, too. Too bad I can’t do it in class.”

Kayla Johnson.

“Well, at work we use video conferencing. It’s less expensive than a business trip. And more convenient. And you don’t get jet lag, either!”

Paco Rodriguez.

“I use a webcam to keep in touch with my parents. They think it’s better than the phone because they can see me. I guess it’s more interesting.”
